The Oast House, which can be seen on the Irwell’s banks, appears to have been plucked straight out of the landscape. As one might expect from a rural watering hole, the unexpectedly rustic pub serves hearty fare and a variety of beers.

If you and your dog are taking a break from a hike along the Trans Pennine Way or just taking a stroll through Chorlton Water Park, Jackson’s Boat is the perfect place to rest. They have a bike rental service and a soccer field, so if you bring the dog along, you won’t be able to enjoy either.

It would be a shame to leave Fido at home, though, because this Manchester bar is so dog-friendly. They have two varieties of dog beer and plenty of yummy snacks, and they’ll even throw a party to commemorate your pup’s birthday or other special occasion (called a “paw-ty”).

Postal Code: M33 2LX Rifle Road, Sale
Time of Operations: 11:00 a.m. to midnight, 24 hours a day

ALBERT SCHLOSS

Although the trendy vibe of Albert Schloss can make you mistake it for a cocktail lounge, this establishment is actually a dedicated beer hall. In any case, the pub is a great spot to relax with your pet buddy while enjoying a drink and some tasty fare, including a mouthwatering Sunday roast.

Even though it’s well known as one of Manchester’s most dog-friendly watering holes, there are a few things to keep in mind if you plan to bring Fido along. For example, dogs are only permitted inside the pub before 7 o’clock, and only if they are smaller than the tables.
